That C word can be so debilitating but it should be discussed as d a has said. A good friend of mine has been diagnosed with it but her strength of mind and purpose shows every time we talk about it, we can still talk of the things that are also in our minds.

The dreadful C is among us and thriving.... it\'s inside me right now and i am fighting it with my everything.
From a person so afflicted let me tell u this, i\'ve met so many sufferers and not one of them wants to be treated different to how u always treated them. I fought not to tell my son because i feared different treatment i fought the fear of being treated as something \'else\'. Don\'t do it. Don\'t avoid talking C but talk about other stuff too. He hasn\'t changed at all. He\'s just been invaded by something he will fight to be rid of.

A sensitive write Clara - and not him alone, as you say. His wife/partner and kiddies too.
A prayer or two for comfort, yes - in senses of \'solace\' and old-fashioned \'strengthen\'.
Well, a bit differently, some colleagues may get on our wick. We may wish to throw them out of the window several floors up! Doh!
But that\'s a bit irrelevant, compared to this.

All your warm concern for a known friend shines from these sad lines dear Clara - - there is no worse a fear these days than the word beginning with C - your note will no doubt bring him comfort and while there is life there is hope my old Gran used to say........ bless you for your kindness to a work colleague.

Clara, your poem drew me in. No matter who, what, where we are, there is always hope. Especially like your last line.

The world is and will never be black and white. Give me those shades of grey for they are realistic. And we are all fallible, making the best of what comes along...... the more we dwell upon these situations, the wiser we become.

Someone in our past who seemed to have all the answers wasn\'t always right. Is anyone always right?

Omg that was amazing... So raw and real any gender can know of the shadow of one\'s own soul, for I once walked the walked you write of.

Thank you for another reflection ;)

Haunting, mesmerizing, a gem!
I cannot imagine how hard it must be to lose one\'s wife. \"He walks for miles in broken boots\"....dragging a broken heart.

A great journey and that last line is so enigmatic - I can read into it - a cliff hanger.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

HI CLARA ~ BRIAN HERE ! In the last analysis LIFE & LOVE can be very CRUEL ! It is very sledom (except by design) that lovers die on the same day ! And whenever ONE LOVER dies ~ it is always TOO SOON ! All we are left with are our MEMORIES ! Angela and I are getting married and we hope to still be alive (and together !) for our RUBY WEDDING in 2060 ! However instead of 40 years we could only have 40 months ! SO we will cherish each day ! Please check our latest POEM *Discovering a New Cave* and our latest FUSION *National Ode Day* ! You can post a POEM ~ on Any Subject & in any Style !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love BRIAN & ANGELA ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

A tale within the first line of this tantalizing read Clara - - you take an imaginative circumstance and weave such a story that readers like me want a second installment - first class writing my friend.

Who is She?
Goldfinch60 said:

There are some like this this that we meet in our lives, both women and men. Ignore them and move on, the good people are always out there.
Super poem Clara.

Who is She?
dusk arising said:

Life brings all sorts to our door including demons and disasters, which shape us into what we are.

Great poem displaying the dilemma of what we could be, should be, maybe and more.

Who is She?
Fay Slimm. said:

I love the form and style of this denunciation of two-facedness Clara - - that girl certainly does need to change and oust those \"demons within\" - a good read my friend.

Sometimes that war just can\'t be resisted and oh boy do we pay the price. But all along the allies (your brain) was shouting no no no!
Well, good argument for being a bit wiser next time and being prepared to NOT take the risk.... but sadly that\'s far easier said than done... i have the scars to prove it.

Nicely written with wry finale.
